Paul Pogba’s record vs top six since returning to Manchester United

Paul Pogba is once again the hot topic among Manchester United fans after the midfielder said he may need a “new challenge somewhere else”.

There is plenty of debate whether United would be better off allowing Pogba to leave Old Trafford, with Juventus and Real Madrid reportedly interested in the player.

Some critics suggest Pogba is something of a flat-track bully who fails to produce when it really matters, but after we showed how United fare much better against the Premier League’s top six when the France international starts, we’ve taken a closer look at his personal contributions against the big boys.

Highlight: Both Pogba’s goal and assist for United against Chelsea came in the 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup in February when everyone was still extremely excited about Ole being at the wheel.

Lowlight: Pogba’s first appearance at Stamford Bridge, and Jose Mourinho’s return to the ground after his second sacking, saw United thrashed 4-0 and the midfielder outclassed by compatriot N’Golo Kante and described by The Guardian as “an expensive passenger that United cannot afford to keep carrying”.
